You keep your office, your department, and your executives, moving forward - to succeed, they need your administrative and organizational expertise and finesse.
But you know you’re ready for something else.
You’re tired of:
- Feeling bored in your role - the job isn’t challenging enough anymore, except for the workload
- Not being recognized and valued for all that you contribute on a daily basis
- Not getting growth opportunities - it feels like you’re pigeonholed into EA roles
- Feeling like your passion for your work was like a light switch that went from on to off (you used to really enjoy it)
And you’re exhausted with the perceptions around administrative roles - you’re *not just an assistant*
You’re ready to:
- Have an impact on a broader level across an organization - not just with the top executives - and contribute in a different way
- Translate your skills so that, on paper, you’re obviously capable of succeeding at the role you’re applying for
- Increase your salary so it’s aligned with the value you contribute
- Break through the wall of being “just” an assistant - as though you’re not an actual professional because you support another professional
You've been juggling so many different tasks...
You’ve provided widespread support and are wondering -
How do I determine a more focused path? Would it even be fulfilling to do less juggling? What if I like many of these hats? Would I be bored if I wasn't juggling THIS much? (Maybe I need variety?)
You want the confidence that you can excel in a different profession - but it’s hard to take a leap into a new role without truly knowing how well you’re going to do in it.
What would it feel like to…
- Be comfortable letting go of the zillion hats you’re wearing as an EA so that you can focus your time and energy differently in a new role
- Know exactly how you’d like to contribute your skills to an organization - have a clear path and feel confident in that direction
- Clearly articulate how your EA experience translates into a successful next role, and be confident that you WILL succeed in taking that step
- Look forward to your work again - and *maybe* even find some joy in it
- Have a better semblance of work-life balance - and actually have energy and time to do things you enjoy outside of work (instead of always being ON and ready to respond)
I know - sounds maybe not possible, right? And you’ve tried so much already -
- You’ve read a bunch of articles, completed some random courses, wondered if you need another degree, certificate, or credential - something to set you apart
- You’ve connected with people on EA forums to network
- You’ve spent time editing your resume, revising bulletpoints dozens of times, trying to get it just right to prove that you can succeed in a different role
- You’ve applied to a bunch of jobs, maybe interviewed for a few, and are always on the lookout for new ones that could be a good fit
But it hasn’t worked - you’re losing confidence because no one has given you a chance to shine in a different way.
It feels like you’re stuck
and it’s not really clear how to get unstuck to actually make a move onto a new path anymore. The more time that passes, the more you have that sinking feeling that you’re meant to do something else.
You wish someone could swoop in and help you gain confidence about taking a leap. Actually, you wish it didn’t feel like such a leap…
It’s time to try something different - something that makes your transition a little less intimidating - less like a leap and more like a slight hop.
It might feel a little unnatural at first, but the best way to move into your next fulfilling role is to first pause, take a breath, and figure out what you actually enjoy and what you want in a career.
You deserve to create your own path based on what energizes you and fulfills you - rather than saying on a path or moving onto a path because it feels like it aligns with your skills.
It's time to put yourself first.
Hi, I'm Krista
And I help executive and administrative assistants who want to transition out of a support role and into a different job and career path.
I support them in exploring and figuring out what they want to do next, translating their skills so they are seen as more than “just an assistant,” and creating a plan to move into a role that is more fulfilling and a different type of challenge.
From a past client:
"I felt very stuck and disappointed with my career trajectory and wanted to know best how to move forward. I was considering a different industry and didn't fully know how to articulate my strengths well enough to be chosen for the higher level positions I had applied for.
Now, I am clear on what I actually value in the workplace and from a job and can determine if job listings will or will not meet my needs. I can also articulate my strengths in a clear way and feel a greater sense of accomplishment knowing how to do this. While I still feel like my current position isn't exactly where I want to be, I am able to use more discretion in choosing future opportunities that will make me feel valued and an integral member of the team."
Transition catalyst: in a one-month design sprint, we'll
Build your compass
Gain clarity and momentum
Spark and explore ideas
We’ll get curious about where you’ve been and where you are now. We’ll explore your strengths, your values, and your views on life and work.

Gain clarity and momentum
Spark and explore ideas
We’ll create ideas for what your next steps could be. We’ll think through ways to experiment and answer some of those questions like, will i like it, will i feel fulfilled, is it worth the move?
Gain clarity and momentum
Gain clarity and momentum
Gain clarity and momentum
We’ll talk through your prototypes to discover what you learned and what questions are lingering. We’ll make a plan for continuing to explore and building your future step - on your timeline.
In this design sprint, we create space for you to explore what you want and need in your next step - because, let’s be honest, you’ve been so focused on what everyone around you needs all the time, you might not be so sure what you need anymore.
We’ll celebrate your strengths and experiences, and identify small wins along the way. We’ll give you the chance to design your own path instead of hoping that a good one comes along.
The one-month design sprint will help you to:
- Define and clarify your skills and experiences
- Explore how you could apply those in different roles and areas
- Spark new ideas for what your future could look like
- Explore what multiple different next steps could be like (Would you like it? Would it be fulfilling? Would it be worth the move? Will it support life-work alignment?)
- Gain clarity and confidence around what you want your next step to be (and what you do NOT want your next step to be) - and start building towards that with confidence
Okay, so what does the one-month life design sprint include?
This one-month 1:1 coaching package includes
- a weekly 45-minute individual coaching session (for four consecutive weeks) to support you as you build your compass, generate ideas, gain clarity around what you want to do next, and build a plan to get there - in a way that builds momentum, confidence, and inspiration quickly (to help you get rid of that stuck feeling)
- access to session notes and (optional) recordings so that you can be fully present in the coaching session rather than taking your own notes, and so that you can later review that insightful response you had to an interesting question
- mid-week email check-ins for accountability, because it's hard to work full time and be looking for a job and set aside time to reflect on what you actually want to do
- access code for Gallup’s CliftonStrengths assessment to identify your talents and explore how you can build upon what you're good at (rather than thinking of potential weaknesses and how to exhaust your energy and time in trying to become the elusive "well rounded")
- reflective activities and prompts to help you think deeply and then move forward
- email support between sessions for flash coaching - those moments when you have a quick question or challenge you want to explore
Your investment for this package is $750
*This package is designed for and only available for people in executive assistant and administrative support roles.
